[gentoo-user] RAM upgrade, kernel and swap

[Michael Higgins <linux@evolone.com>]

So, I just got 2 GB of RAM in the mail. Whoo hoo.

Before I pop these in, soliciting any thoughts about the following:

zcat /proc/config.gz |grep MEM
CONFIG_SHMEM=y
# CONFIG_TINY_SHMEM is not set
# CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL=y
CONFIG_FLATMEM_MANUAL=y
# CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL is not set
# CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_MANUAL is not set
CONFIG_FLATMEM=y
CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP=y
# CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_STATIC is not set
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UMEM is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_FF_MEMLESS is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is not set
CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM=y

Logical   Linux ReiserFS                   28493.15

IOW, do I need to/should I recompile my kernel or change partition
sizes?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Cheers,
